This game is lots of fun and feels like fire emblem. Lots to do and more strategy then you'd expect. Only issue I have is that the pricing structure for orbs and the RNG of summons don't make sense. Feels like I can't support the game financially even if I wanted to because I know I'd likely get nothing from any summoning pools I did and even the most expensive orb amount would only let you do a few summoning pools. They are generous with free orbs though.

It's fun to pick up and play but limits of 10 teams of 4 ruins replayability considering how many playable characters there are. It's tedious swapping characters in and out, especially when you have spent time levelling some over others. Having an unlimited amount of teams or increasing the number of members per team would be very welcome. Otherwise, having so many characters left unused or having to sell is a big miss.

Mostly good, but lagged occasionally. The pricing for unlocking potential to a 5 star costs way too many feathers. I feel if you could purchase feathers, then the pricing would seem a bit more fair, though a better solution would be to either slightly lower the amount needed or slightly raise the amount earned from things other than arena and events

So. I'll try to keep this short. I really like it as a game to pass the time or to keep me busy. The art style is amazing, gameplay is still the same yet fun as the others and such. But my issue is the reward orbs.. Actually, orbs in general. You only get one per story stage and such, no matter how far you gotten or the difficulty setting, which makes it hard to get more than one summon. And I think they tried to make it where everyone has to work for it, cause the prices to buy a few orbs is pretty pricey in my case. If they made the story stages and such give more orbs when you get further and such, it would feel more rewarding. And to add onto it, levelling up.. It's sort of a semi grind and patience, but I think there's a easy fix that I haven't found yet. Either way, it's still a fun game in my view. Would play it as a game to pass the time.

A great game that is fun to play for both fans of the Fire Emblem series as well as new people. However the draw chances on the banners seems a bit too low especially after using 100 orbs and not getting a single 5 star.

William Gray

When first claering the missions it's fairly easy, but that's just to give new players a chance at free orbs and more rolls for 5 star heroes. The real challenges start at the lv40+ stages. Without a strategy, you WILL lose. But that's the fun part, that it's not easy.

The game itself is flawless. Beautiful art, various game modes and our favorite characters from the FE Series. The only downside is the high battery consumption and overheating on my Samsung Galaxy note 4. Please fix this and I'm sure the game deserves a 5 star rating.

Great Fire Emblem mobile game. Lots of characters across many games. It's good for both casual and competitive players alike. My only gripe is that it vastly rewards pay to play players. And progress seems kind of slow for free to play players. I've been on both sides.

This game is so much fun! An interesting story that's still ongoing, battles that can become very involved for those who want a challenge, easy to gain orbs (in-game currency) if you are patient. The art is top notch and the voice acting is good. I'm so grateful to this game for breaking my addiction to Grand Order lol

Love the Fire Emblem series and this is a big step for the franchise! Problem though, the game on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S III) keeps on crashing on the loading screen. Please fix this problem I have had it since I first downloaded it. (Also called it on the kid units! ;) )

Best nintendo mobile title to have come out. It is engaging and its graphics are stunning. The characters are fun to play and bring back memories of the original fire emblem games. The story is nice and long and so are the paralogues. Not to mention the online quests are fun aswell. This is my favorite game to date.

Really great game. I've been a fire emblem fan since the first game came out in NA. This version does the franchise justice while adding some new aspects to better suit a mobile on the go device! One major complaint I have though is the lack of things to do. The limited 3 times a day pvp and stamina prevents you from playing that much (especially the later missions that take 10+ stamina). You'd be able to play like 8 short (3minute) games a day which is severely limiting.

Do you like spending a long time plotting out team builds and careful moves, while also seeing a wide cast of interesting characters whose relationships you can shape? You'll like Fire Emblem series, then. OK, now do you ALSO like casual tap games? Yeah, because that's what this is, now. A genre mash-up so stupid almost nobody can enjoy it.

Never pay real money for this game. The odds of getting a 5 star are so low. After getting frustrated of paying money for orbs and getting nothing good, I took a break. When I returned, I had over 100 orbs waiting for me. After using all of them, I have nothing to show for it. I love this game and the Fire Emblem series so much but it is really frustrating when I have nothing to show for the money I spend.

I really enjoy this, it's quickly becoming one of my favourite mobile games! My only problem is that it's pretty tough to get the orbs at times, but I don't really mind that as eventually I'll be able to promote some of my heroes!

Hello! I absolutely adore this game, but it seems I'm having a problem with my account, as I'm not able to merge any of my 4* star grows together no matter what I do. An I doing something wrong our is this a glitch?

While the plot is lacking and the strategy game play can become tiresome, character artwork and individual lines really shine. Also, some people complain about the gacha price, but in my experience it's very reasonable compared to other similar games. Additionally, the free rolls and better daily rewards that have been added in are very helpful!

Sucks to write this. Loved FE for as long as I can remember. But this is some P2W BS and I just cant accept this. Buy a 3ds awakening. Fates and or echoes.. dont bother unless you have alot of cash to waste and/or luck. And yes I will update this every time you update the game to avoid someone thinking the issue has been fixed

This game has made me interested in the Fire emblem series and while I've gotten many hours of enjoyment out of the game and even lucked out in the drawing of some of the best 5 star heroes, it is this random summoning mechanic that keeps me from investing money into game. I want to support this game but not encourage such potential waste.

Boring. Unique unit types keep getting locked behind 5* limited seasonal banners. Less and less units getting added to 4* pool which makes summoning a waste of resources. Events are literally identical, stale and tedious. New rhythm game is a huge disappointment due to poor music selection. Also the game gives you a lot of summoning opportunities but get ready to summon amazing units with garbage stats or to waste them all and get none of the focus banner units.

Have no way to get my account after switching devices. Looked online for no answers so happy I reinstalled that 900mb update on my phone for it to say please play game on device last played on. I can't it's broken so I'm out.

Game started out strong but slowly grew stale and their attempts to revitalize the brainless game play devolved into power creeping and releasing out of place game modes (what the hell does a rhythm game have to do with Fire Emblem?). The summoning pool is abyssal when you have a 50% chance of having your 6+% 5 star pool be garbage and no useful heroes are available at a lower rarity. New skills are all rare-locked and strategy doesn't exist if you just summon newer more powerful heroes= pay to win.

I like the game but I wish the game was more generous with orbs mainly because it's difficult to gain them once you complete all the normal and hard stages...and lunatic is way too hard for me. Also when I try to link old accounts, it sometimes says null and that it failed to connect. It's very annoying. Update: the null is no longer there but now, whenever I try to link an account, it says I have to exit other apps or accounts which I did multiple times. I never had this problem before.........

overall it's a great game. There are some glitch/bugs to be fixed in the game control though. For example sometimes in battle when a hero is clicked for a little long and it was regarded as a move, which might significantly affect the result since a important move might be wasted

They have since fixed what i had previously complained about. This is a great game, only problem i have is that there are ALOT of repeat summons. Like the same 15 characters for some reasons show up 10x more often than others. Id like for a better summon rate control, or maybe a way to ensure new characters have a higher spawn rate.

5 star quality game. 1 star quality RNG. It's definitely worth playing in my opinion. IS has done great keeping players happy! Nintendo's customer support however, is dreadful. The person who contacted me was both unprofessional and unhelpful.

I really like this game, but it is very difficult to get 5 star characters, and even when you do they are more than likely going to have really bad stats? fun game but at a certain point it becomes less about the game and more about how much money you can pay to get really good characters. It's fun, but hard to justify playing the further you get.

It is gradually making all the worth while rewards only available to those who can complete impossible challenges. Only half the lunatic difficulty challenges are beatable and they expect you to beat the next difficulty up, infernal?! Constantly losing challenges despite training so many characters is infuriating

This game has been a long struggle for me, and I still hate its Gatcha system, but I have to give the development team props. Sure, they make many mistakes, but they are also quick to learn and remedy those errors. They also listen to the community and keep them involved. I would say this is a fun little game to waste time on. Battles are simple and quick, and the game rewards strategy, and it continues to grow and evolve. It even has a likable cast and a decent story that has improved over time.

Screw this stupid game. 35 orbs and it gave me one green orb at a time. The free 60 orbs from the anniversary, wow thanks, I ended with about 15 3 stars. What a wonderful game... Also, doesn't help with the fact my friend gets every new 5 star in the game with the free redeem or how he got 4 5 star units with 30 orbs meanwhile I spend 80 for a 10% pity rate and end up with 1 Fae

My first review has to be updated. Here's the original: Honestly, I am a huge fire emblem fan and this does not disappoint in the slightest. It's a slightly watered down faster paced version of the game we know and love. Only wish we could either use more than 4 per battle or have guild/clan stuff. Otherwise this honestly deserves 5/5 Now I have to point out how ridiculously gatcha this game can be. I've had incredible luck for awhile so it didn't bother me but last week I got $100 from a friend specifically for orbs for my bday. Out of 100 orbs I only got 2 5 stars and they were both a character I already had a +3 of. (Chrom). The rng can be brutal... That being said I do still play this game all the time, it's very good otherwise.

Awesome strategy game tons of fun especially if u love the series. Some of the ingame resources are scarce to get and u start needing an exorbitant amount to keep making good units but very f2p friendly game 9/10

Edit 12/02/18: Can't believe I have to edit this again so soon. At first it looked like the Anniversary event was going to be just the beginning of a return to form for this game. Instead it turned out to be nothing but recycled content, a poor new game mode and some voting. Aside from more versions of units already in the game (including our 3rd Ike and a 4th Lyn), pretty nothing substantial or exciting has been done. The summoning pool is still terrible and the devs still fail at balancing the game. It's still a serviceable game to waste time on, but it has a long way to go before it can reach the level of Fate GO or GranBlue Fantasy.

Just simply a great game. It's only flaw is that if you play daily there are way too less stamina potions, so you can't play this game for a longer time at once every day, especially while playing the tempest trials. You can only play 10 rounds if you start the day (unless you have some stamina potions left), and afterwards you have to wait for 1 hour and 40 minutes to do it again.

It takes a while to load, but the game is brilliant. I've 100% all story missions and paralogues on all difficulties. I'm a bit annoyed that it isn't easier to obtain orbs, but I still have got a lot of five stars.

I love this game. Turn based strategy with type matchups and a difficulty system that lets you learn how to play before hitting you with extremely hard challenges. The one aspect that doesn't appeal to everyone is the Orbs and summoning new heroes to add to your roster. This at first seems to be a bit like a pay to win game, and yes that is true, but if you play the game enough and get the most out of your challenges you can earn enough of the premium currency Orbs to be able to make your team great. I'm almost 100% free to play, (spent real $ once) and I'm sitting pretty with some amazing heroes.
